Sallie Mae 

The feudal overlord of thousands of naive and idealistic American college students who were susceptible to visions of grandeur about a great-paying job over the rainbow once they have a degree. Occasionally one out of hundred succeed paying off their debt, but most opt for deferments, and kicking the debt down the road in vain.

Dupes graduate with a bachelor's degree, and believe their misfortune, lack of income, and debt problems can be alleviated by borrowing more money and pursuing a graduate degree as they contract more debt. This usually proves vain.

Since student loan debt cannot be discharged legally in bankruptcy proceedings, the only solution for many students is getting a scarce gov't job with a loan forgiveness option, joining the military, committing suicide, or emigration to a foreign country.

The rationale for guaranteed loans emanates from the notion that the state subsidizing the cost of education somehow makes it cheaper. In reality, making gov't loan guarantees and six-figure credit ceilings available to a demographic of mostly 18 to 25 year-olds, who have limited work and credit history distorts the marketplace. If colleges had to take that demographic as they were without the gov't subsidized loans, colleges would be compelled to control their costs, and be more affordable. Cost inflation of tuition prices is institutionalized at 5-6% per annum.
Ryan screwed the pooch. He borrowed $80 grand from Sallie Mae to pay for his bachelors of art degree in Government. Then as his job fortunes worsened, he had this naive idea he could be an educator in the middle of a recession, so he got a masters of arts in history only to realize the colleges and public schools do not have any openings. Now he's going to have to move to Canada to escape his hopeless debt.

Sylvie is a very artistic individual who prefers more calming hobbies. She is warm hearted and cares for everyone around her, unless a someone doesn’t care back. She may seem somewhat shy at first but if you truly get to know her you’ll realize that she’s super immature and goofy. Just be careful though because a Sylvie could be easily torn down by words, but she’ll recover so don’t even try..
Oh my god I just met Sylvie the other day and she was slightly shy, but today she just really made me laugh!

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
